- your landing page says 'On Circles, your data is encrypted at rest. This means no ads or questionable business.', how does data being encrypted relate to 'no ads'?

- asking for contacts while saying nothing about how you monetize is a huge red flag to me

- since you are already using cross platform JS framework, how about making it available as a PWA? or maybe provide apk directly? google store doesn't cover a sizeable number of android devices

- your landing page still says 2021 in its footer

Interesting! Those screenshots are pretty.

I feel like this made the whole DoH thing meaningless, as Comcast will still be able to collect and correlate user's identity and browsing history.
